matters of fact is absolutely crucial in this respect.

Relations of ideas can teach us about mathematical truths, but cannot, as some rationalist philosophers would have, teach us about the existence of our selves, an external world, or God.

based in antecedent truths. If you have the correct name of a thing, you have insight into the very essence of a thing because the name corresponds to the unchanging truth of a thing.
